Margiris Trawler Action in Chile

Small boats with local fishermen confront the FV Margiris super trawler (aka 'Abel Tasman') in the Port of Valparaiso, Chile. According to the UN, the global industrial fishing fleet is 2.5 times too big for fish stocks to sustain. Yet Parlevliet & Van der Plas, the Dutch company that owns Margiris, receives subsidies from European Union.
